What Are the Symptoms of a Broken Car Half Shaft
1 Answers
Here is a related introduction to the symptoms of a broken half shaft: 1. Abnormal noises on bumpy roads, unstable vehicle, swaying left and right, brake deviation, and steering failure; 2. Excessive clearance in the half shaft, which is prone to fracture under impact loads. High-speed driving may cause the wheel to fall off, and an out-of-round wheel hub can lead to inaccurate dynamic balance, manifested as high-speed steering wheel vibration. If the rear wheel half shaft of a front-wheel-drive vehicle is damaged, there will only be metal friction sounds or hard metal collision sounds. The half shaft, also known as the drive shaft, is the shaft that transmits torque from the gearbox reducer to the drive wheel. Each end of the shaft has a universal joint connected to the reducer gear and the inner ring of the wheel hub bearing via splines on the universal joint.
